Rowntree & Co. - Instant Spot the Ball


1983
Instant Spot the Ball
Rowntree & Co.
78 cards known

The image on the front of the card seems to be a game involving Liverpool and Wolverhampton Wanderers. The backs of the cards show two panels of sporting scenes plus the name of a sportsman - mostly cricket and football with some golf and tennis too. Two lists, the first is a list of the known two-panel cards, the second is a list of all the footballers known to feature on the cards. The cards are unnumbered and are numbered here for reference purposes only.
UPDATE (13-04-2022 19:57):  John Borthwick has provided a list of 21 additional cards and one more footballer (Norman Hunter).
